Patented Jan. 26, 1932 mm -EISTATES PATENT OFFICE/g a HENRY R. s'rnvims Ann T'Iino'rHY w. s'rnvnns, or ASHTABULA, OHIO I BELT DRESSING HOLDER Y Application filed July 3,

This invention relates to abe lt dressing holderand has for itsprimary ob ect to provide,in a manner-as hereinafter set forth, a

- holder of such class by means of which belt dressing may be conveniently and advanta geously applied to a belt without the necessity of touching the belt with the hand, thereby eliminating thelikelihood of in]ury to the hands by having the same drawn between the 0 belt and mounting therefor.

YVith the foregoing and other ob]ects 1n view,t he inve-ntionconsistsof the novel construction, combination and arrangement of 3 parts as. hereinafter more particularly dc scribed, and as illustrated in the accompanying. drawings wherein are shown embodimerits of the invention, but it is to be understood that the description and drawings are tobe taken as illustrative and that the invention is intended to be limited only by the scope'of the claim hereunto appended.

-In the accompanying drawings in which like numerals are employed to. designate like v parts throughout the several views 25 Figure 1 is an elevation of a holder in ac? cordance, With this invention showing the same inapplied position with respect to a a block of belt dressing.

Figure 2. is a fragmentary top plan of the embodiment shown in'Figure 1. I

I Figure 3 is areducedelevation of a slightly modified form of the invention. I Figure 4 is a reduced elevation similar to Figure 1 showing a modified form of handle memberw A' Referring to the drawings in detail, the numeral 1 indicates a rod having an externally threaded end portion 2 terminating at its free end in a tapered point 3. At the opposite endthereof, the rod 1 is bent into the form of an eye to provide a handle member 4. v

The threaded portion 2 of the rod is loose- 1y extended through openings 5 in a pair of oppositely disposed, ,arcuate clamping plates 6, and engaging the convex faces of the plates 6 are a pair of Wing nuts 7 which are threaded onto the portion 2 of the rod 1.

In the use of the holder, the innermost nut 7 and plate 6 is positioned on therod 1, after 1930. Serial- No.' 465,684.

which the point 3 is inserted into a block of dressing, such as 8, and the rod is then rotated to extend the portion 2 thereof diamet rically through the block 8. The outermost plate 6' and nut 7 are then positioned on the rod 1, after which the nuts 7 are moved toward each other to bring the plates 6 into position to embrace the block 8 and to clamp the latter between the plates. An end face of the block 8 then may be applied to a belt or the like by grasping the holder by the handle member 4.

The embodiment shown in Figure 3 is the same as that above described except that the rod 9 is bent intermediate its ends to project the threaded portion 10 thereof at a right angle to the longitudinal plane of the portion of the rod 9 on which the handle member 11 is formed. The threaded portion 10 is provided with plates 6 and wing nuts 7 iden tical with those described in connection with the embodiment shown'in Figure 1. This form of the holder is particularly adaptable for use in applying a dressing to a belt located above the head of the user of the holder.

Theembodiment shown in Figure 4 is the sameas that above described in connection with Figure 1 except that the rod 12 is provided with an elongated handle member 13, preferably formed of wood, such handle member being located at the opposite end of. the rod 12 from the threaded portion 14: of the latter. The threaded portion 14 is provided with plates 6 and wing nuts 7 identical with those. previously described. A

It is thought that the many advantages of a holder in accordance with this invention will be readily apparent, and although the holder preferably will be constructed in ac cordance with one of the embodiments herein illustrated and described, it is to be undcrstood that changes in the details of construction may be resorted to, so long as such changes fall within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
